Grilled Salmon Fillets

Grilled Salmon Fillets are a delightful Paleo dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon with a zesty marinade, perfect for a summer barbecue. This dish is not only easy to prepare but also packed with nutrients, making it a healthy choice for any meal.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 pieces (approximately 150g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
